Among the many types of cartilage products that AlloSource manufactures, the company developed ProChondrix® CR, a viable hyaline cartilage osteochondral allograft used for single-stage cartilage restoration procedures. This cartilage restoration therapy contains live functional chondrocytes and other biological components necessary for repair and regeneration of damaged cartilage tissues.¹ ProChondrix CR has an average of 94.97% chondrocyte viability after two years of storage at -40°C. The two-year shelf life helps to alleviate the inventory management challenges of other cartilage products and provides surgeons with more flexibility for their patients.
